Intermec offers two quality grades of direct thermal media for
the EasyCoder printers:
• Premium Quality: Top-coated media with high demands on
printout quality and resistance against moisture, plasticisers, and
vegetable oils. Examples:
- Top Board - Duratherm II,
- Premium - Duratherm II Tag
- Duratherm Ltg.
- Duratherm IR
• Economy Quality: Non top-coated media with less resistance to
moisture, plasticisers, and vegetable oils. In all other respects, it
is equal to Premium Quality. Examples:
- Economy
- Eco Board
Intermec offers stock labels for thermal transfer printing in a wide
range of quality grades.
• Uncoated papers for economical high-volume printing to be used
with GP/Basewax/Standard ribbons. Examples:
- Vellum
• Coated papers with various coat-weight, smoothness, and
gloss to be used with HP/Premium and GP/Basewax/Standard
ribbons. Examples:
